take their shots at me / am going to shoot
! oack They can't fCoi me. I've been behind
| the scenes. l know all the shooting ground
that makes their thunder and the pea boxes
tney rattle when they want any body to un-
derstand there's Il storm on hand They can't
scare me. / know the whole machinery of
the concern. l amt so awful brave. I've
neen licked many u time, but, thank God,
nothing in the shape of a man has scarf me
yet. / can take a licking, but can't be bull
dozed. They did do me the compliment to
| say in their newspaper that very fair news
paper man was spoiled to make very poor
revivalist. will tell you I'd rather be the
| poorest revivalist that ever attempted to
preach the word of God to dying men than
be the best newspaper man that ever sat

THREE-LEGGED STOOL
In Minneapolis sanctum. Great laughter. |
And in the endeavor to return the compli-
ment TO the editor / have been absolutely
bankrupt. for should l search all creation
| through don't know of anything or any
| body in all the creation of God that was
| spoiled when he was made an editor IGreat
| applause. Talk about the slangwangng,
! and can take the blue pencil of the manag-
| ing editor and run through its columns and
II slangwanging was penitentiary otfense, L
could convict the whole establishment
and put it into the penitentiary for life and
| nlnety-nlne years longer Applause. Like
the devil calling the chimney-sweep black-to
! talk about sangwanging. l am perfectly
willing to be examined with him by any COM
petent and decent authority. But say TO
you the Holy Ghost is the test. The presence
and power of the Holy Ghost in
the life of the Christian is the
test of the fact as to whether
he has come up to and enjoys and has re-
| celved the very highest possibilities of his
nature in a religious sense. Twelve men
| consecrated and endowed with the Holy
| Ghost in every church in Minneapolis as Paul
had them there in Ephesus would do for this
city and this territory all around about here
what it did for that territory in Asia round
about EphesuS. Itwould not take long for
all the world to hear the word of Jusus Christ.
| But we have got too many OF that other kind
who hardened and spake evil of that way be-
fore the multitude Brother, let me tell you
| God has imDlant ted in your heart and put the
seed into your life of all the grand and noble
possibilities that human nature has ever ex-
hibited in the history of the world. He i'm
planted them in every one of us when we
were born into the world, and he planted
them to grow up and to flower, flourish and
| fruit In our lives for the glory of his own
| great name and the good of the
| KINGDOM OF CHRIST.
And II you will give yourselves in true
| dedication to God and to Christ and to right
| eousness through Christ then the Holy Ghost
will come into your life and will give the
| growing power and fruitage to every one of
| these possibilities of your nature and you are
| living pauper amidst the riches of the king
dom of God until you have received the Holy
Ghost, that leads you into all truth and gives
| you all power, and stars deck your Christian
diadem with gems of conquest and triumph
| How did they get down to confession when
| they Sinned? Many of them that believed
| came and confessed and showed their deeds,
| and that is the first step that a recalcitrant.
| backsiding or weak and Intellectual Christian
has got to take IN order to get the Holy Ghost
| hot ic fha hacr %l,;n
religious, as Brother Jones told you last
night. And if you never felt the internal
| glow and the grand inspiration and
the heroic possibilities of all your
nature flooding your whole being with joy
! unspeakable, it is because you have never
had the Holy Ghost. and if you want to have
| Him; if you want to enjoy His presence and
His power, and feel all the possibilities of
your natute armed with His immortal spirit,
why then you must do that which is neces-
sary to be done in order to give Him place
| and work and room in your life. What is
| that? The first thing is confession. And the
| second, after they had confessed what it was
| that made their lives weak and impotent and
Intellectual, then they brought their books
| Chose of them that used curious arts); they
| brought all the things that contaminated
their lives and burned them up. There's the
two points, and they are as clear as the sun
light of God can make them. Confession of
the things that have ruined, decinated or
made impotent your life. Confess those
! things, and the next is clean up your life.
CONFESSION AND CLEANSING
are the two conditions precedent to the com.
| ing OF the Holy Ghost upon you. That is
what they did. l like to see q crowd get into
| the humor to do that, Then, you know, 1
| have got up in my faith, fortified and made
certain, and l begin to look out then for
! fruit. l would like to see them as they did at
| St. Joseph, Mo-, when we were under that
| Jones preached to them. Men and women,
| the most refined, the most respectable, the
| most sociable, and the leading citizens of the
city OF st. Joseph stood up there in crowd
that was six or seven times greater than this
stood right up and said "BrOther Jones, you
| are right, and we confess our SHORTCOMINGS
We confess that we have been doing wrong
We confess that we have been mixed up with
the world. We confess that our lives have
been decimated by these things and now then
We are going to atone. When we get
home we are going to burn our
| cards. When we get home we are going to
empty our demijOhnS and bottles. When we
| get home we are going to lay down the law
| that we viii have family prayer; that we will
| attend prayer meeting. When we get home
| we are going to lay down the law in our house
| that there will be no more dancing, and ger
| mans and progressive euchre parties. And
| they stood up there in, that crowd men and
| women in all classes of society, and said
| ''theSe things have ruined and hurt our lives
| and now we going to confess them and
are going to clean them up and they did it,
Over 200 souls were converted to God. From
| that time that grand meeting rolled on with
tremendous success. The city of st. Joseph
was morally revolutioniZed from one end to
the other and has never gotten over the
| cleaning up that took place there under Sam
Jones. l like men to do like Judge Lochren,
| OF Georgia. After we had our
PROHIBITION FIGHT
| down there, he saw he was going TO the devil
| himself, although he was one of the leading
| citizens, judge of the supreme court. He
was drinking man. He had a cellar abso-
| lutely packed full of the finest wines and
| liquors that could be imported from abroad
| or bought in America. He had son who
| was walking in the struggling footsteps
| OF his father, and when the prohibition fright
| came up Judge Lochren was converted and
| the Holy Ghost came upon him with power.
| He said, 'I'll throw all my influence on the
| side Of God, and morality, and Sobriety, and
right And he called his son to him and said (:
| II want you, son, to join me. I have led
| you astray far enough, and join me now in
the back track and together they got upon
| that platform in that tent and spoke together
from the same platform in favor of prohibi-
ton. 1t was grand sight to see father and
son thus turned by the power of the
Holy Ghost and both throwing their
| tremendous influence in favor of temperance,
| sobriety and morality. But that was not ALL
Judge Lochren took DR.. H.. his pastor, one of
the erandest preachers, and said: 81 want
you to come out home with me-" and he took
him out home and asked some of his neigh
bors to come over and help him. He said, II
am going to empty this stuff in my cellar. -
He didn't empty it out by selling it to some
| body else to tempt someone else with it, nor
| Send it Off under the pretense 1t was going TO
| call some sick person back to life. He sent
his servant down into that cellar and brought
| ii up, every drop of these
